As a reply to the comments about making it a C.O.D. only site. I had ordered a head from some one on dsmtrader and had talk to the guy on the phone many times before we decided to do the transaction. When the ups guy came to my door he would not let me open the package until I paid for it. I...

I see where you guys are going with this timing being off and it bent the valves causing the engine to have no compression. Here are a couple of factors to thing about though.1. The car has not moved more then 15 feet since it was running. It was running and we heard that arcing noise...

If you want to call and talk to a shop about it call me. I live in northern CA and the car I just bought had the swap done by a near by shop. Its one of the cleanest motor swaps I have ever seen done before. send me an e-mail to [email protected] and I can give you that info.Eric

First I would go through and check all of your vacume lines. If you have a bad enough vacume leak it could definatly cause some bogging down. also have you tried any injector cleaner? you might have some dirty injectors or a dirty fuel filter. Also double check that your not overfilled agian...

If you have taken out the head bolts/studs and it is still catching some where a good place to look would be get under your car and look under the intake mani, I beleive the intake mani will have a bracket that comes down and actually bolts to the block. once you take that off and double check...

use this listhttp://www.2gnt.com/nuke/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=8basically 12 is the start of the codes. you had the battery disconnected in the past 50 or so key turns.

Well dont know if you have fixed this probably already or not but The first thing I would do is check the battery. lots of times when a battery is almost dead it will make all the lights in your dash go on and it will have problems where its just bogging down the car. I would try to either test...

Im having the same problem with my friends 95 gsx. We tried window seal but that broke off from the torque applied to it. We have contacted alot of different companies including dealers and the only thing you can really do is order a new crossmember with them in it. The bushings are actually...

if it was a problem with the water pump shouldnt it be blowing cold air when you turn on the heater? because the pump wouldnt be pushing hot water through the heater core?

Guys just another possibility of another clunking noise when launching or shifting hard, This is what i am in the middle of replacing this weekend on a 95 gsx. The rear diff is being held to a cross member in the back of the car with two bolts. both of these bolts have bushings and if one of...

in the gst and gsx model 2g eclipses it is placed behind your stereo in the middle consol. In the rs and gs model 2g eclipses it is usually put in the engine bay on the drivers side not far from the battary. my 96 rs is a 2.0 dohc 420a engine and it is in the engine bay. I hope that helps. Eric

no ideas?

Ok this is a problem that i just cant seem to figure out, I will try to explain the problem, then explain what i did and see if any one else has some ideas as to what it could be.Ok you start that car and even as its starting you can hear this clunking noise, it tranny). This clunking...

Well Poppy You are definatly lucky that things turned out some what ok for the car. It could have been alot worse and maybe even a new engine. Later on down the road if people tell you to swat the 420a motor with the 4g63 dont do it, the motor is flipped the other way and it does take alot more...

hey another good norcal dsm group is dsmxtreme.com its from sac to the stateline. alot of good guys in that club as well as the sac dsm club. a good number of the guys are in both of the clubs. anyways dsmxtreme does get together for a good number of bbq/wrench days. Im in Chico, about 2 hours...

ok back on topic, i installed my intake a long ass time ago but i never had any of these problems with it, as stated above try disconnection the negative side of your battery for a little while to reset your ecu. try putting back on your stock intake and see if that fixes the problem, and let...

ok MOST likely its either your belt is loose or goin bad, or your low on fluids, i know my 96 nt has a bad problem with belts jumping, i seem to break my powerstearing belt at least once a year, but it usually only happens when im at high rmps. i read some where that they do have a problem with...

u sure that it is metal clunking around? you might want to check and make sure your belts arent jumping over and tearing, mine did this, it just frayed (spelling?) the belt causing the loose ends to spin and hit different parts of the car. It doesnt quite sound like the problem your having but...

ok well i have a 2g but i dont remember the demensions of the trunk/hatch but a 12lbs tank is almost 4 feet in lenght, so if you have enough room lenght wise for 4ft then get two 12' bottles and stack them, but then you will need a prtety big compressor but if you are building a custom sub...

well if you only have 14k-15k miles on it, then its not the clutch bein worn out. but there are a # of things that could cause this. it could be as simple as a loose bolt or two, or it might be you had some oil leak on the clutch. like i said there are a few different things that could cause...

you might be right, like i said it was a friend of mine who owned the shop so im not fully sure, but i do know that they used helium and not nitrogen like most of the other shops do. and i do know that there wasnt ever a contest for bags that they didnt take 1st 2nd and 3rd if they had three...

ok i actually have some good insight on this subject in a way. First off it would be possible for a small tank, compressor, and subs, but with that set up you would only be able to fill the bags up once before you would have to let the tanks fill back up as mentioned above. One of my good...

well you said you were on a budget so my opinion might be out of the question but then agian you get what you pay for, and that statement is true with any aspect of modding a car. if you want things to come out right pay the extra $$$, if you dont you might find yourself doin it agian. ok enough...

hey guys just an idea, i had this problem with my last car it was a camry but usually it would do it in all gears, but if this is it its an easy fix and cheap so i would try this first. check your fuel filters either take them out and replace them or put some good fuel/injector cleaner. My...

ok well if its on the top side and NOT in the cylinder then its probably your well gaskets. I just fixed this same problem on my car last week. First go pick up new valve cover gasket along with 4 spark plug chamber/well gaskets and a tube of rvt gasket maker. take off your vavle cover and get...

ok guys wells heres a good list of some good dj/producers u should look for tracks by. I know that there are a good bit that i am forgetting and if u want more ill send some more, if u want trance, happyhardcore, or any other genre then let me know and ill get some more lists for u, i will be...

ok well i have to leave my house right now, but later tonight i will give u guys a long ass list of different kinds of techno to get, i have over 600 cds of non stop techno, and about 200 vynls. well got to go like i said check back late night or tomorrow morningEric

ok well i can give u a list of song, dj, and producers to download that would be bigger then they would probably allow me add in this reply. so to help you and me out how about tellin me what kind of techno your lookin for? ie. jungle, house, trance, dark house, dark trance, uk garage, break...

ok a few things to check, just to get an idea of whats wrong. After replacing the clutch i take it you made sure to bleed the clutch line from the slave cylinder, and also top off the clutch fluid right? have some one step on the clutch with the car off while your lookin under it to make sure...

hey, hopefully you just blew a fuse, thats the easiest thing to check, you have two main fuse boxes, one in the engine bay and one on the driverside kickpannel. in your usermanual it should say which fuse goes to what and the right size of fuse to use. while your down there just check them all...

congrats on becomin a dsmer! i too have a 96 rs. mine has double the miles though. how much did you pay for it? anyways, get a cheap ebay cai, most people i have talked to say they cant really tell the difference. definatly get that timing belt replaced before all mods if you havent already. as...

ok well i am pickin up my gst with a blown motor for $500 i have a friends dad who owns a shop where i can leave the motor and work on it any time i want and i can use all his tools. i plan on spendin every extra penny and every minute of my spare time on this motor. so i have been reading up on...

ok well first off i dont know if any stores around me do diagnostic tests for free, but i will definatly be checkin this weekend (i work 60 hours in 5 days every week so i dont have much time to look at it during the week.)ok well today while on lunch break i looked at all my fuses and then...

are you leaking any clutch fluid? have you done any work to your clutch or clutch system lately? i would definatly try bleeding the clutch a few times you may just have air in the line or something as simple as that, then if that doenst work start looking at the slave and master cylinders.

ok well for the past few weeks my battery light will appear, then when i shut the car off and turn it on its gone and wont come on until who knows when. so this weekend i go and get gas and the bat light was on didnt think much of it, so i turn off the car get gas then go to start the car and...

if you car stays at stock height you wont loose much ground clearance by switching those bumpers but if your car is dropped definatly be careful driving, you dont want to spend that much just to crack the fiberglass. my 96 rs is in the dirt almost and the kid i bought it from didnt know how to...

ok guys, well i just got the aladdin a2000 two way alarm with remote. now my friend manages a car audio/alarm shop, so i had him install it at the shop, it took him atleast 5 hours, and he said that it was harder then hell, and he had to actually call up a friend in SF for some help because...

well i dont know if its the cleanest but it is pretty damn clean sound, this is the set up i have in my car, it will cause sharp peircing pain in your ear if up to loud. i have blaupunk (spelling?) speakers in the back in place of the stock. then i took my doors out and added boston accoustics...

hey guys im from chico about 1.5 hours north of sac, but just to let you know there is a norcal dsm group called dsmxtreme there are a few members from sac and a few from chico and a few from near by. one of the guys who is in it has a shop here in chico called race prep, he has a dyno that can...

because if you want speed then you want to be light and show usually means more weight in your car, because of stereo and other interior mods. for my gst im gonna go as light as i can. i am almost sure im gonna keep my rs as a daily driver and once the gst is done then decide on what to do with...

larryd: lol, thats why i wont be giving out his name or location, the deal is almost done, like i said its my bosses brother, and for lack of a better word he is a crack head/pack rat with storage units full of stuff he refuses to sell so he needs the $500 to pay some of the storage fees. he...

ok heres my situation, i own a 96 rs with a few mods. i am in the process of buyin a gst with a blown motor for $500 from my bosses brother (needs the money). so my original thought was to buy it, and rebuild the motor from the block up with all proformance parts, i was planning on puttin 1k a...

the greddy evo sounds awsome i have a friend with it, on my rs i have a trust exhaust it sounds almost identical to it, trust and greddy are one in the same for the most part. you might want to check out trust as well i dont know what the price difference is but like i said we sound almost...

Misundaztood im glad there is some one like me out there. and turbolaser, ok i know im messed up in the head and have my prioritys messed up, thank you for pointing it out more.

thanks for the reassurance guys im glad you all agree im crazy, anyways the booty wasnt to good when i was gettin some from her, and now im much better off, and as for me bein obsessed over a gsx its the same obsession, i got one in my garage that is torn apart, i got it for free with a blown...

ok yes the girlfriend i did let go over a 96 rs, but i was just about to end it anyways the whole car thing just put me over the edge. and as for my mitsu always being there, they might not be dependable cars but i can always fix whats wrong with her,its not like the car will just one day up...

ok well i just want to know if im alone out there, my friends all say im obsessed over my 96 eclipse, i just say i love it. ok this past month it has been pretty raining in cali, but these past 4 days have been great sunny weather, in those 4 days i have washed my car 3 times, and i dont just...

first the easiest solution it could be have you checked the power steering fluid lately? if not do that now, if you find its low fill it, if it keeps leaking then get your powersteering pump checked out. if you have checked it and its full get your belt looked at, and if that is fine then have...

my 96 rs had a vacum leak, it was bad enough to make it bog down and jult some times when i took off makin it look like i didnt know how to drive. it ended up bein one of the bolts on my cam sensor came out and the other one was loose so my cam sensor moved around causing a vacum leak as well as...

hey if its a really bad hesitation, like its bogging down and then jumps forward and then repeats that a few times you might want to look for a vacum leak. thats what was happening with me, do the CEL trick to see what codes come up and then you can find out if its a vacum leak or not. just a...
